Spirit Hound Distillers to Release First Bottles of Aged Whisky

(Lyons, Colorado) – On Saturday, August 22, Spirit Hound Distillers will release the first bottles of its years-in-the-making Straight Malt Whisky.

The small-batch distiller is bottling five 53-gallon oak barrels of Straight Malt Whisky that were filled prior to the historic September 2013 floods that did severe damage to Lyons and other parts of Colorado.

“Two years ago when our town got hit by the flood and our distillery was under three feet of water,” says head distiller and co-founder Craig Engelhorn, “I was worried this whole thing might go down the drain. To finally be releasing this whisky and have it turn out so well, it’s very satisfying for us.”

This whisky will only be available for sale at the Spirit Hound distillery and tasting room at 4196 Ute Highway (State Road 66), 1 mile east of downtown Lyons.
